Idea Summary
I would like to see a feature or plugin in Oracle APEX that enables the display and editing of hierarchical data using a mind map interface.
This mind map should support collapsing/expanding nodes, adding new nodes via a "+" icon, dragging and dropping nodes to change their position, reassigning edges to other nodes, and customizing node colors freely.
Having such interactive features would greatly enhance the visualization and manipulation of complex structures.
Use Case
This functionality would be extremely valuable for use cases such as project planning, knowledge organization, decision trees, role structures, and brainstorming.
In my current project, we manage hierarchical tasks and responsibilities, and a mind map would be a much more intuitive way for users to view and edit those structures compared to traditional tabular forms or tree-based layouts.
It would support more creative and dynamic interaction, especially for users who need to understand or refine ideas collaboratively.
Preferred Solution (Optional)
An interactive mind map region type or a supported plugin in APEX that binds to hierarchical SQL queries would be ideal. The ability to sync node changes (add/move/delete) back to the database would make it highly practical in enterprise applications. Integration with APEX collections or JSON data could also be a viable implementation path.
